ListStore with an unknown number of columns?

[Daniel Kasak <dkasak nusconsulting com au>]

I'm writing a sub to create a ListStore to hold data for a combo box.
I'd like to be able to have a variable number of columns, driven by the 
number of fields I pass into the sub.

Then I'd do something like:

>     while (my @row = $sth->fetchrow_array) {
>         
>         my $iter = $liststore->append;
>         $liststore->set($iter, @row);
>         
>     }

But the 'set' method of ListStore wants the fields passed as separate 
values.

In the examples folder I found the following code:

>     for ($i = 0 ; $i < 50 ; $i+=5) {
>         my $iter = $store->append;
>         $store->set ($iter, 0 => "$i");
>     }

So I tried constructing a hash of data ( which gives me the ability to 
control the number of fields ), eg:

{
   0   => $primary_key,
   1   => $string_1,
   2   => $string_2
}

But when I try to pass that into the 'set' method it gives the same 
complaint as my first attempt:

> Usage: set(list_store, iter, col1, val1, ...)

Is there a way to do what I want?
